Her samles vi for å diskutere et verk på portugisisk som studenter og andre interesserte har lest noen sider av på forhånd. (Tilgjengelig fra nettsiden.) Den som presenterer boka, forklarer hvorfor hun eller han valgte den, forteller hvorfor valgte de sidene det er snakk om, og sier ellers det om forfatteren og verket som hun eller han syns er mest interessant. Deretter kan alle deltakerne diskutere det som har blitt sagt, og si hva de selv syns osv. Alt foregår på portugisisk.
